About the Author of the Blogsite, Not the Author of the Bible: Since the Lord had it on my heart to write this blog, I was uncertain of how to accomplish this, mindful of Revelation 22:18-19, which says that nobody is to add to, or to take away from what was written in the Bible. After lots of prayerful contemplation, the Lord had it on my heart that I’m not to change the meaning of what is written in the Bible. He has also shown ways to add to people’s understating of that meaning, without altering the meaning, by putting that info within [brackets]. This is primarily accomplished with the KJV Bible and lots of prayers, but at times, BibleGateway.com, Biblehub.com, NIV Bible, Webster Dictionary, and other internet resources, as needed.

About Understanding the Bible:

Understanding the Bible: After reading Isaiah 28:10 many times over the years and not totally understanding it, it recently became apparent to me that the Lord God has this passage as the means for understanding the Bible. For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little. Isaiah 28:10 KJV. Being prayerful about this passage, and looking up 'precept' in the Webster's Dictionary, it gave this passage a whole new meaning, once 'commandment' is substituted for 'precept'. Within brackets are additional words the Lord had on my heart to aid in understanding the meaning. For commandment must be [built up] upon commandment; commandment upon commandment; line upon line, line upon line; [developing understanding] here a little, and there a little.

The Table Format:

The Table Format: I was overwhelmed with how to explain the process for determining if someone had leprosy in Leviticus 13, which seemed very complicated. After praying, "Lord, if this is difficult for me to understand after reading it many times, how can this be explained to others?" The thought the Lord God had on my heart was for me to put it into a vertical chart to visually see the process. This made it much easier for me to follow the progression. After doing so, I prayed, "Lord, how can this be conveyed to readers, so that they can understand this process?" The thought the Lord God had on my heart was to put it within the lines of a table. Being a stiff-necked, stubborn person, as it's often called in the Bible, I prayed, asking the Lord God if He's sure that's really what He wanted me to do? I reluctantly put Leviticus 13 into a table format. When I read this difficult leprosy process within a table format, it suddenly became easier for me to understand. That's because it builds line upon line, as explained in the Understanding the Bible section. Shortly after that, the Lord God had it on my heart, to put all of The Books of the Bible in Smaller Chunks within a table format, to aid in understanding, line upon line.

Psalm 103:1-22 Book# 4 of Psalms

A Psalm of David.

Psalm 103:1-22            Book# 4 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

Bless the Lord, O my soul; & all that is within me, bless His Holy Name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, & [don't] forget all His benefits. Who [forgives] all your [sins,] & Who [heals] all your diseases. Who [redeems] your life from destruction. [Jeremiah 50:20 The Lord [says:] In those days, [during] that time, the iniquity, [a.k.a. sinfulness,] of Israel shall be sought for, & there shall be none. And the sins of Judah, [shall be sought for,] & they shall not be found. For I will pardon [those] whom I reserve, [a.k.a. set aside.]

Who [crowns] you with loving kindness & tender mercies. [James 1:12 Blessed is the man, [who endures] temptation. For when he is tried, [a.k.a. tested,] he shall receive the crown of life, [that] the Lord [has] promised to [those who] love Him.]

Who satisfies your mouth with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's. The Lord [executes, a.k.a. carries out,] righteousness & judgment, [a.k.a. justice,] for all [who] are oppressed. [Psalm 12:17-18 Lord, You [have] heard the desire of the humble. You [will] prepare their heart, & You [will] cause Your ear to hear: to judge: the fatherless & the oppressed, [so] that [men] of the earth no [longer] oppress.]

He made known His ways to Moses, &  [made known] His [actions] to the children, [a.k.a. people,] of Israel. [Deuteronomy 4:35-38 It was [demonstrated] to you, [so] that you [might] know that the Lord, He Is God. There is none [other,] beside Him. He made you to hear His voice out of heaven, [so] that He might instruct you. And He [displayed] His great fire [to] you, upon the earth. And you [heard] His Words out of the midst of the fire. And because He loved your [forefathers,] therefore, He chose their seed, [a.k.a. descendants,] after them, & brought you out of His sight, out of Egypt with His mighty power; to drive out nations from before you, [larger, & stronger,] than you [are,] to bring you in, to give you their land for an inheritance, [like] it is this day.]  

The Lord is merciful & gracious, slow to anger, & [is abundant] in mercy. He won't always [scold,] & neither will He [hold] His anger forever. [Hebrews 12:6-10 For whom the Lord [loves,] He [disciplines,] & [punishes] every son whom He [receives.] If you endure [chastising,] God [deals] with you [like] with sons. For what son is he, whom the father [doesn't discipline?] 

But if all you, [participants, are] without [discipline,] then you are [illegitimate,] & not sons. Furthermore, we have had flesh [& blood,] fathers, [who] corrected us, & we gave them [respect, shouldn't] we much [more:] [instead yield] [in respect] to the Father of Spirits, & live?

For they [truly disciplined] us for a few days, [as seemed good to them;] but [God] [disciplines] for our [benefit, so] that we might be [participants] of His Holiness.]

He [hasn't] dealt with us, [according to the magnitude of] our sins; nor [repaid] us according to our iniquities. [Titus 2:13-14 Looking for that blessed hope, & the glorious [appearance,] of the great God, & our [Savior,] Jesus Christ, Who gave Himself for us, [so] that He might Redeem us from all [sinfulness,] & purify to Himself, a [special] people, zealous of good works.]

For [like] the heaven is high above the earth, so [large] is His mercy toward [those who] fear, [a.k.a. respect,] Him. As far as the East is from the West, He [has] removed our [sins] so far from us. [Romans 5:6-8 For when we were [still] without strength, in due time, Christ died for the ungodly. Scarcely for a righteous man will [someone] die, & [still perhaps] for a good man, some would even dare to die. * But God [demonstrates] His love toward us, in that, while we were [still] sinners, Christ died for us.]

Like as a father [pities] his children, so the Lord [pities those who] fear, [a.k.a. respect,] Him. For He [knows' our [structure,] & He [remembers] that we are dust. [Genesis 2:7 And the Lord God formed man [from] the dust of the ground, & breathed the breath of life into his nostrils; & man became a living soul.]

As for man, his days are [like] grass. [Like] a flower of the field, so he [flourishes.] For the wind [passes] over it, & it is gone. And the place [of it,] shall no [longer] know. [1 Peter 1:24-25 For all flesh is [like] grass, & all the glory of men [like] the flower of grass. The grass [withers,] & the flower [of it falls] away. But the Word of the Lord [endures] forever. And this is the Word, which by the Gospel is preached to you!] 

But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon [those who] fear, [a.k.a. respect,] Him, & His righteousness [is] to [their] children's children [of those who] keep His covenant, [a.k.a. contract,] & those [who] remember His commandments, & do them. [Deuteronomy 7:9 Therefore, know that the Lord your God, He Is God, the faithful God, [Who keeps] covenant, [a.k.a. contract,] & mercy with [those] to 1,000 generations [who] love Him, & keep His commandments.] 

The Lord [has] prepared His throne in the heavens; & His kingdom [rules] over all. [Revelation 2:26-27 And he [who overcomes,] & [keeps] [doing] 

My [work until,] the end, I will give power to him over the nations. *And He shall rule them with a rod of iron, even [like] I received [from] My Father, & they shall be broken to [pieces like] the [clay] vessels of a potter. ]

Bless the Lord, you, His Angels, [who] excel in strength, & [who] do His commandments, [paying attention] to the voice, [a.k.a. sound,] of His Word. 

All you, His hosts, & you ministers of His, [who] do His pleasure, You, bless the Lord. Bless the Lord & all His works, [a.k.a. miracles,] in all places of His dominion. [Matthew 15:29-31 And Jesus departed from [there,] & came [near] the Sea of Galilee, & went up into a mountain, & sat down there. 

And great multitudes came to Him, having with them those [who] were: lame, blind, [mute, disfigured,] & many others, & [threw themselves] down at Jesus' feet, & He healed them. 

In so much, that the multitude wondered, when they saw the [mute] speak, the [disfigured were] whole, the lame [walked,] & the blind [saw.] And they glorified the God of Israel.]

Bless the Lord, O my soul.
